picturesque valleys on the Pacific Coast. The
lands in this valley have heretofore been owned
IN large holdings; the growing of wheat has

warmth and salubrity of the climate the heavy
annual precipitation of rain, and the perfect
protection which the confguration of the val
ley affords against north winds has proven
hlghly, profitable: At intervals, however.
throughout the valley, orchards NAV be seen

one OF the leading objects of the purchase of
inns land by a syndicate of persons interested
IN the success OF the railroad to be constructed
was 70 secure the subdivision of the land into
Small hoiGlngs, and to promote the density of
settlement. Keeping this object steadily in
view, some OF the largest and most fertile tracts
VIII be subdiyided into ten and tweuty-acre ;ots
and individuals will be strictly limited TO the
ownership OF single lot Town sites will be
located as near to the center of the tracts as may
be found convenient or judicious and the mr.
chese.s of orchard or garden land in small
tracts VIII be permitted to purchase not to ex-
ceed I'VE lots in the town site plats In thisway
IL is designed 10 establish populous and thirty
ing communities, whose growth and prosperity
shall be based upon small holdings of very fer
tile and highly profitable lands Ten acres of
TINS fertile land lying under climatic conditions
SO favorable TO orchard and garden culture nav
be made as profitable and responsive to intelE
gent industry leo or 80 acres of land devoted
to the growth of cereals. The very early ma

ket price, while the road TO be constructed he
ing under the control and management of the

success of these enterprises

aIely west OF the beautiful and thriving city of
woodland the county seat of Yolo county. Its
trend Is northwest and southeast having
length OF twenty-six miles and an AVERAGE
width OF three miles. Cache creek is a yt'y
considerable stream of water, even at its lowest
stages and every piece of land offered is either
lntersected or washed upon one OF its boundaries
by this stream of clear. pure water Gardens
aud orchards may be brought to the highest
stage OF perfection without irrigation The an
nual rainfall is abundant for all horticultural
purposes, but should irrigation be desired for the
purpose OF producing moe than one crop of
vegetables in single season, or for the purpose
OF producing perennisl crops abundant water
facilities are at hand for that purpose
The line of the Woodland, Capay and Clear
Lake LAX; Kaliroad Company is being graded from
Madison the present terminus of the Vaca Val
ley and Clear Lake Railroad, westward through
the valley, and the road will be equipped and
In running order at an early day throughout IFS
entire length. 1t is the design to offer these
lands at rates and upon terms of payment which
viii afford the highest encouragement 10 their
actual occupation by a large and industrious
class OF people. Surveys tor town sites and sub
divisions of these large tracts of land are in
progress, and maps of such surveys are in pre-
paration. Owing to the large number of in
quiries concerning the intention of the Capay
Valley Land Company regarding these lands,
this preliminary announcement has been
deemed necessary.
